These goals seek to eradicate poverty, protect the planet, and ensure prosperity for all as part of a new sustainable development agenda. They were developed in 2015. A total of 193 countries, including Spain, have committed to achieving the 17 Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) proposed by the United Nations by 2030.
These 17 goals are based on the achievements of the Millennium Development Goals, which also address climate change, economic inequality, innovation, and sustainable consumption, among others, to make this world a better, more sustainable world and extend its life and the lives of those who inhabit it.
To have information and learn about the SDGs in depth, we highlight the creation of the website www.agenda2030.gob.es And we encourage you to be curious and learn more about each of the 17 goals and the targets they entail. But don't worry if you can't see them all; we'll be showing them to you each week to provide more detailed information over time. From SDG 1, entitled "END POVERTY," to SDG 17, entitled "PARTNERSHIPS FOR THE GOALS."
You have a lot to contribute
The SDGs are based on a spirit of collaboration, and that's where you come in. On this page, you can also learn new habits, small changes in your daily routine that will result in big changes. Visit the YOU ALSO TRANSFORM section and find out how to help from home or work.
For the more analytical, we provide the direct page made available by the National Institute of Statistics (INE) to users with data on the indicators that measure the achievement of the 169 targets across the 17 SDGs. You can click on each SDG, below which you'll see the targets to be achieved by 2030, and in the indicators, you can see the detailed results. This is where you can search for the indicators and view them in detail by gender and age range. https://www.ine.es/dynt3/ODS/es/index.htm
Last but not least, remember that in this digital age, you can stay informed and be part of the change at any time by following social media. For example, you can follow @agenda2030esp on Instagram, not only to see their posts but also to share and publish related content. This way, you can also get those around you involved.
There are no excuses! We can all do our part; you just have to be aware that you really want to contribute to change. Where will you start?
